Hm.. sounds more like older versions of libxml2 where incompatible with
the gcc version that comes with SuSE 10... Is this gcc 3.3, 3.4, or 4.0?

I believe the right thing to do would be to let configure compile some
test-code using xmlwriter.h to see if the libxml found is useable by pgadmin3.

I can't come up with a patch for this ATM, because I'm really the opposite
of an autoconf expert - But maybe someone here knows how to do that?
